Re: Connect Gas Cap Tether To Gas Hatch Door

Hi All,

I have a 2005 S60 2.5T AWD. I was getting pissed at having no tether so I bought a new one. Problem is I sent to install it and find that the hook that the round hole is supposed to be mounted to is missing. The outer steel door that is painted has the plastic inner part mounted to it via ...

Re: Cooling Fan running high all the time

Is that the sensor that is mounted to the thermostat housing? If so, that whole assembly is new (within the last year). Tstat and sensor sold as as a single unit now, replaced mine as the Tstat was stuck open.

Re: Cooling Fan running high all the time

Hi. my son's 2005 XC90 2.5 AWD cooling fan just started acting up, seems like similar symptoms to what I am reading in this thread? It is January here in MA and quite cold, so AC operation is not clear or needed aside from when defroster is running. The issue with his car is all of a sudden the ...

Re: XC90 2003 Hood Release Latch broken

Hi All, I have a 2005 XC90 and my hood release handle inside the car will not release the hood. I just had the AC serviced and the hood was working properly when I dropped it off - but not anymore!? I just noticed that the passenger side of the hood seems to be unlatched (I can pull it up slightly ...

Re: 2005 XC90 2.5T Radiator Fan Removal

Finished the job last night, everything came out very easily, back in was a breeze all buttoned up and re-charged this PM. The next bummer is I got it back from station and the hood latch will not release the hood!? It seems like the left latch is not latched (staring at the front of the car), can ...

Re: 2005 XC90 2.5T Radiator Fan Removal

Thanks guys, really appreciate the tips! The pump came today, so I will start shipping away at it tomorrow and get back with any updates or (hopefully not!) questions or issues that come up!

Hi Guys, quick update. Tackled the job tonight, followed your tips and will say it went almost exactly as ...

2005 XC90 2.5T Radiator Fan Removal

Hi All,

I need to replace the AC compressor on my 2005 XC90 2.5T. Based on some YouTube videos I have seen I am feeling that I can do this w/o removing the PS pump, alternator by removing the 4 AC compressor bolts (and AC lines from comp, that no longer has refrigerant in it) and sliding the assy ...

Re: 2001 XC70 rear wheel intermittent lockup

Sorry if this is duplicate, my first post did not seem to take?

Well, finally got the time to pull the wheel and sure enough, EB pad became un-laminated and must have jammed the wheel to lock it up. Sadly the first 'bang' I heard was a giant chunk of my cast wheel hub/knuckle being sheared off ...

Re: 2001 XC70 rear wheel intermittent lockup

OK, makes sense, but that 'bang' and intermittent hard lockup seems odd to me, just not sure where the EB pads would be getting in the works to create this random lockup (I would think it would be continuous...but maybe not?). I never us the emergency brake either so certainly very possible that ...

2001 XC70 rear wheel intermittent lockup

Hi All,

Drove my 2001 XC70 2.5T to work and back (80 miles, zero issues) and picked my daughter up from work. While pulling out onto the road, I heard a loud 'bang' and the passenger rear wheel completely locked up, skidding us to a stop. Put the car in reverse, no longer locked and moved OK, then ...
